subject: Is Tobacco Smoke Still Stinking Up Your House [print this page] If you or someone in your home is a tobacco smoker, have you ever been embarrassed because you know visitors can smell the stink? You might have tried everything you can think of to mask that thick tobacco odor and have probably never found anything that will cover it completely or make it disappear. The thing about tobacco smoke is that is contains the sticky tar residue that clings to surfaces in the home and until it is cleaned off of the surfaces, it will continue to smell and to be sticky.
No amount of deodorizers or fragrant sprays will get rid of the smell. Burning scented candles will not do it either. The absolute only way to get rid of the odor is to scrub everything down really well and stop the tobacco smoking in the house. The scrubbing will be the easier of the problems to solve, but getting yourself or someone else to stop smoking inside might be a little more difficult. When people live where it is very hot or very cold, going outside to smoke is not always something they want to do.
There is a solution that you might like better than giving up smoking inside the house. You might consider switching to an electric cigarette to get your nicotine satisfaction. The e cigarette does not produce smoke. It does not produce odor. It does not have any residue to contend with. You can use it inside a home and no one will ever know unless they see you. Just think of the money you will be able to save of air fresheners alone. You can also save on the amount of money you are spending on tobacco products too. The electronic cigarette can cost about half the money to use as tobacco and there are other benefits to switching as well.
The e cigarette does not have anything near the chemical content that tobacco does and since it is not burned in anyway, you really do not have to worry about secondhand smoke either. The e cigarette seems to be a perfect solution for anyone that smokes tobacco. All you have to do is switch! Your home could be smell free as soon as you do the cleaning and the switching. Using the device in your vehicle can mean that it will be odor free too. What do you have to lose except for that awful stinky tobacco smell?
